Annie Liebovitz, the famous photographer who took the controversial photos of Miley Cyrus, says the whole situation has been misinterpreted.

“Miley and I looked at fashion photographs together and we discussed the picture in that context before we shot it. The photograph is a simple, classic portrait, shot with very little makeup, and I think it is very beautiful.”

Unfortunately most people think it’s inappropriate and there is talk that this could ruin Miley’s career.
